Zenkan is a personal note taking app with a 3-level nested board system. Visually organize tasks and notes by dragging and resizing them at will. Markdown support for rich text formatting in a flexible workspace.

Hi everyone!
I created this app because I found myself a bit overwhelmed with Notion's complex and rigid databases (especially their kanban view), while also thinking that Google Keep was not structured enough for my needs.
Zenkan is a bit in the middle, it allows you to write resizable and rich text notes with Markdown formatting (H1/2/3 titles, center text, code blocks, etc) organized into nested boards with a nice drag-and-drop feel to it.
Let me know if you have anything to say about the app!

@peti_pouaĀ hey this looks really neat! wish i saw this earlier. i feel the same about notion being too much sometimes, and keep is like... too little? lol. zenkan seems like a good balance, maybe smarter for organizing quick thoughts visually. i can see myself using this for brainstorming project ideas. just throwing stuff on boards and moving them around freely sounds nice. much better than rigid lists sometimes (ļæ£ā½ļæ£)ć congrats on the launch peti_poua and team! looks promising.

@mogabrĀ Thank you!
Zenkan looks like a thoughtful middle ground between structure and simplicity, how does it handle search or filtering across nested boards? Would love to hear more about how it scales with lots of notes.

@alex_sporenbergĀ Hello! Zenkan is still in early development, so right now there is no search or filtering available, but i'm always open to implement new features, I'm taking note! For scaling, in my own testing, the browser become laggy above 1000 cards, that's why right now it's the max number of cards possible on the app. Performance may also vary depending on the device.
A flexible note-taking app? I need this! š

@shenjunĀ Nice! š I did my best to keep it flexible so you can resize the cards and boards however you like!

thank you @stainluĀ ! yeah i built it zenkan exactly for that, just quickly throwing notes together, and being able to quickly reorganize later, as i feel like š¤. i hope your upcoming launch for grimo beta also goes well!
